The article from The Muse confirms the impression I’ve gotten from working over the years. Going “above and beyond” doesn’t necessarily get you anywhere, but being 100% reliable is critical and, surprising to me, actually kind of rare in the working world. I’ve often been complimented for meeting long-established deadlines and consistently showing up on time.

The bookends tip is something I’ve followed for years, particularly for working black shoes into an outfit. I’ve got a couple black statement necklaces and black patterned scarves. Whenever I’ve got a top and bottom that I love together, but no shoes that work, I go to my black bookends.

Makeup problem – I use foundation powder and every time I talk on phone, I see its film on the buttons or on the phone screen and to be honest it’s really annoying – do any of you have this problem? When I try to wipe the screen/buttons, the color doesn’t go away so I have to wipe it with a damp cloth. Is there a solution? I have super oily skin so that’s probably the culprit here. Can liquid foundation and a dab of translucent powder make things better?

I have had this problem with some products and I have very dry skin. I found a layer of powder to solve things (I like Bourjois Healthy Mix for a coloured powder and the Soap and Glory translucent ones)
